Leikol foundation day

October 3rd, 2017
Leimarol Khorjeikol (Leikol)
Dave Literature Centre
DM college complex
Imphal, Manipur.
 Foundation Day (Mapok Numit.) was celebrated at Dave Literature Center. A special gift,a carved figure of lord Pakhangba (Meitei's believe)  was presented to me.
As chief guest I was introduced by Dr. Aruna Nepram, head of the Manipuri Department to the members of the organization.
Thanking Dr. Aruna and all the members for giving me a chance to know about the organization I spoke about how I started writing. I had no plan to write and publish a book initially but came across a TV interview of a memoir writer Linda, B Myers talking about her childhood days when her mother left her with grand mother. Rejection by her mother brought her into resentment during her growing up into adulthood. After she wrote the book "Don't call me mother" a memoir  she felt relieved and even forgave her mother. I immediately joined her workshop and later other on line classes on writing from  well own writers like Sheila Benders, Matilda Butler and Kendra Bonett. There was no turning point since then and thus continued writing.
